This lovely private house in the midst of the rice fields, located only 10 minutes from Ubud centre. The house is not shared and the pool is fully private as well, there are no neighbours wall to wall with the house.

The space

This house was built 2012, by Ketut and his family its a fully private, renovated two storey house, overlooks the pristine Rice Fields of Penestanan only 10 minute drive from central Ubud. Its house surrounded by nature, which means insects, bugs, snakes, mice and so forth are part of it living in the surrounding rice fields.

Decorated with beautiful wood furniture, double bed on the top floor, wardrobe, small table and a balcony to watch the sunsets.

We are renting the whole house (not just a room) and the swimming pool with it fully private and only for the house guest. This is place for those looking to disconnect, to get their creative flow running, a place for lovers of Nature and want to be close to it.

The house has two floors, the stairs leading to the top floor, can be a challenge for people who have a walking difficulty, or small children.

Downstairs has a day bed for for one more person, either an adult or a child.A large dining table with bench seating.A fully equipped kitchen.An outdoor shower and an enclosed separate bathroom is to be found downstairs.With a porch outside and a plunge pool in the garden.The House has no immediate neighbours giving it nice privacy but yet close to Ubud center, Penestanan hub, where you can get all you need, restaurants, cafes, local shops and the larger super market and Sayan Terraces by Ayung River.

If you are a light sleeper you might want to be made aware that Roosters are a common property of each house in Bali, and these tend to make noise at the early hours of the morning, you might want to carry earplugs with you.They are not part of Ketuts house but rather the nearby houses.Feel free to contact me for more information about the house.

There is not really an official public transport to Ubud, best is to rent wheels (scooter, bicycle or a car) if you frequently want to visit Ubud. Or ask Ketut to arrange a Taxi. (around 5 USD to town) If you are a keen walker Ubud is about 30-40 min walk away. Penestanan is the nearest neighbourhood, only 10 min walk from the house.

Other things to note

If you are easily disturbed by sounds, you might want to bring earplugs as natures "music" in Bali can be loud, frogs, roosters, and dogs are common around the villages.

We loved staying at Kerkut's place. Being in the rice fields from where you could watch the kites was great. Kerkut organized us two motorbikes as well as an island tour in a car. We highly recommend this place, especially if you want a more authentic experience of Ubud.

Ketut' place is a very nice private villa exactly as shown in the pictures and the description. It is very private and having the pool to take a dip in after a long day was great. Ketut is such a nice, warm hearted guy and so very helpful. The location is away from the town of Ubud so it's very quiet and peaceful there, yet just a 15 minute scooter ride from town. Logistics are key: Ketut drove us to town to get scooters and we hoped a taxi back after dropping them off late evening our last day. The location is a bit challenging to find but very doable once you learn the landmarks. Ketut is available to assist with directions to drivers, etc.. We arranged a rental car to be dropped off at the villa the morning of our checkout, gaven them general location & Letut's phone number and rhe car was delivered on time and without any difficulty. I definitely recommend staying here and we would do so again if back in Ubud.

Response from Andréa:

Peter happy to read your experience at Ketuts house was a positive one, he sure knows how to host his guests I think its in the Balinese nature ;-) we too hope to see you back one day. Until then safe travels

Our stay at this gorgeous home was absolutely wonderful... we never wanted to leave! The house itself is beautiful and clean, the pool and backyard is a perfect, quiet place to relax and chill with lush, colorful vegatation surrounding you, and the view of the rice terraces from both the large wooden deck and backyard is serene! This house is quiet and a bit secluded from the loud town but still very very close to it by moped or car! Ketut is an amazing host and so helpful! His drivers Koming and Karma were also the nicest people! If we are ever back in Ubud, we will 100% be staying here again! Families, backpacking trips with friends, solo, it doesn't matter what kind of travel you are on, I HIGHLY recommend staying here!

Hi my name is Andréa.
Ketut is the owner of the Ubud Rice field view house, he is a Balinese friend who has little knowledge (next to none) about internet, hence makes it hard for him to advertise outside Ubud, so volunteered to help him out as this is something I have done for the past 10 years, running my holiday letting agency in Barcelona.
I simply take care of reservations, and once you arrive to Ubud you are in great care of very capable and friendly host Ketut.
Ketut has worked on cruise ships for many years and has vast experience in customer service.
He is renting out his place for those looking to disconnect, to get their creative flow running, a place for lovers of Nature and want to be close to it.
So far no one has been disapointed.
